NALA's Work

Since 1980, we have been involved with training, policy making, national co-ordination,research and innovation. Currently we focus our work on four main areas of activity:

Developing policy

NALA develops and proposes appropriate policies for adult literacy in the future.

Advocacy

We argue for appropriate responses to the needs and rights of adults with literacy and numeracy difficulties and work to further strengthen our ability to affect public opinion and Government policy.

Research

We commission and conduct research into key literacy topics. We also share research findings, promote effective practice and policy and stay up to date with important research conducted by others.

Offering advisory services

We provide advice on a professional basis to organisations on how they can address literacy issues through their policies, procedures and activities.
